Post your under $50.00 purchase...

That was a great day for you. At my local coin shop, shops that 1895 O would be 400-500$ minimum lol. One time in a shop. I ran into a PCGS slabbed 1892 CC VF 20, for only 170$. That was my greatest financial victory so far.

The guy also had a partial buffalo nickel set that I just bought. Hoping for the same luck with those.

I love those die breaks. They speak to me as well... As you'll see momentarily.

 

Haven't posted to this thread for a little while. Most of my buys have been over the $50.00 threshold. But I picked up a couple coins this week while out of town. They are very common, yet have an uncommon feature to them that drew me in. Plus the price was an offer I couldn't say no to.

The first was the spectacular 1964 Roosevelt Dime. The luster is phenomenal and just makes the colors pop on this one. I paid $2.50 for it.



Next up was this 1964-D Washington Quarter that had the neatest die break I've seen on any of these. Had this been a Morgan Dollar rather than a Washington Quarter, it'd be a spectacular example. Check it out the break around the top of the 1 is what really sold me on this. I paid $4.00 for it.

 

Great find on the '64 Washington! It looks like it's possibly rim to rim? I would love to see an even later die state example of that.

 

1879-S Cameo Mirrors with copious amounts of die polish and die lapping..(macro shots)

 

1881-S PL w/light cameo
$40
It is a common coin, but she's quite lovely in-hand

 

That's a cool slab and the coin looks nice too!

I have actually not seen one before.

@Conder101 is this the same slab as you describe below:
NCCA (National Coin Certification Association?) I'm not sure what the initials actually stand for. All I know of this company is that it exists or at least existed. (4/01) I do not own one of their slabs and have only seen one scan of a slab that was sent to me by E-mail. (Have since had a second piece described to me by a dealer. He didn’t know the company name but his description matches NCCA. He said they used to advertise fairly heavily in Coin World but I do not recall them.) I now have several examples from this company, all #2.

 

Here is mine

Hah luv it, and thanks! This one is on the list of coins to send in for grading to see what bounces back Although it may take me a while as it seems I've been in acquisition mode a little too long, so the list is a bit overwhelming!

 

1890-S $2.51 over ($52.51)..but the closest thing to perfect in my bunch

 

You noticed the second A in STATES, right? VAM-32A, one of the "biggies" in 1921, and even allowing for currently-hidden examples yours is among the dozen finest known....there's only one recorded in 65 and one in 66.

 

Yup. That's the capped A alright. And a nice one!

 

Just arrived today from the 'bay for just over $20 shipped:





(Yes, in case you were wondering, it is an unattributed "Large S")
